Why invest in infrastructure equity?
Without infrastructure, the day-to-day world we take for granted would not exist. Coupled with that, it is likely that economies would no longer function properly. Essentially, these assets make our lives liveable
Water services
Electricity
Gas
Roads
Telecoms
Airports
Railways
Infrastructure-related companies are known as being ‘defensive’. In other words, it is likely that they continue to generate profits in good times and bad because many infrastructure companies have long-term contracts with governments. A steady cash flow means that infrastructure companies could potentially pay regular dividends to shareholders, which, in turn, generates an income for our investors.
Besides, the global population is growing. It is expected that there will be billions of people demanding multiple services.
With so many infrastructure options to choose from, we have decided to concentrate on specific themes that could potentially offer the most attractive long-term investment opportunities.
